Laravel – PHP Error SQLSTATE[23000]: Integrity constraint violation: 1452 Cannot add or update a child row: a foreign key constraint fails

Looking to finish an e-commerce project, when I click on my place order button I get this error, any advice?

SQLSTATE[23000]: Integrity constraint violation: 1452 Cannot add or update a child row: a foreign key constraint fails (ecommerce_project.orders, CONSTRAINT orders_product_id_foreign FOREIGN KEY (product_id) REFERENCES users (id) ON UPDATE CASCADE) (Connection: mysql, SQL: insert into orders (name, rec_address, phone, user_id, product_id, updated_at, created_at) values (user, canada, 1525548, 1, 19, 2024-09-17 08:12:36, 2024-09-17 08:12:36))

Code:

throw new UniqueConstraintViolationException(
$this->getName(), $query, $this->prepareBindings($bindings), $e
);
}

        throw new QueryException(
            $this->getName(), $query, $this->prepareBindings($bindings), $e
        );
    }
}

/**

    Looks like user_id from orders is not present in the users table which is why you can’t insert the new order

    The error you are encountering is related to a foreign key constraint. Specifically, it says that the product_id in the orders table is referencing the id column of the users table, which seems like a mismatch, as typically, a product_id should reference the id column of a products table, not users.

    Here’s how you can resolve this:

    1. Check your migration file: Ensure that the foreign key constraint is correctly set for the product_id. It should reference the id column of the products table, not the users table.

      For example, if your current migration looks like this:

      $table->foreign('product_id')->references('id')->on('users')->onUpdate('cascade');

      Update it to:

      $table->foreign('product_id')->references('id')->on('products')->onUpdate('cascade');

    2. Check your database schema: Ensure that the product_id column in your orders table is correctly set as a foreign key referencing the products table.

    3. Data integrity: Ensure that the product_id being inserted (in this case, 19) exists in the products table. If this product doesn’t exist, it will also cause a foreign key violation.
